And let's not forget that that Cardiff competition included Bryn Terfel, who apparently missed
winning by a whisker. Imagine that - two of the greatest baritones of the past 30 years going
head to head in the same competition! Personally I think Hvor deserved the prize - that
incredible breath span in "Io morro ma lieto in core" was reason enough - but that must have
been a tough call for those judges.
